Penn State Aims to Extend Winning Streak at Bryce Jordan Center

As the Penn State Nittany Lions prepare to host the Indiana Hoosiers at Bryce Jordan Center, fans can anticipate an intense matchup. The Nittany Lions have been on a roll, showcasing their ability to dominate on both ends of the court. Their recent victory over the Hawkeyes with a score of 89-79 highlighted their offensive prowess, as they shot an impressive 52 percent from both the field and three-point range. Notably, their free throw accuracy was also strong at 81 percent.

The team's defensive efforts shouldn't be overlooked either; in their last game against Northwestern Wildcats, they racked up 10 blocks and managed to keep turnovers low. However, despite these efforts and scoring 63 points with a solid shooting performance (44 percent from the field), they fell short by five points.

When looking at trends, Penn State has shown considerable strength in scoring within the paint and capitalizing on turnovers. In their recent win against Iowa Hawkeyes, they scored 26 points in paint and added another 14 off turnovers. Their assist-to-turnover ratio was positive at approximately 1.38.

The upcoming game is crucial for maintaining momentum as Penn State looks to leverage its home-court advantage once again after defeating Iowa Hawkeyes there earlier this month. The Nittany Lions will need to focus on maintaining high shooting percentages while also tightening up defensively against an Indiana team that has shown it can put up points in bunches.

Fans are encouraged to come out and support as Penn State seeks another conference victory. The game is scheduled for February 24th at Bryce Jordan Center in University Park with tip-off set for 5 PM Eastern Time. For those unable to attend in person, coverage will be available nationally on BTN (channel 610).
